I want to take out my door handles. Anyone knows what I have to do.




remove them like that. =)


And what do I need to get to remotely open my doors

 

you have to take your car to a bodyshop and get them to shave your door handles, and paint them and then insert a pop lock system which runs bout 200-400 dollars per door

 

you need to get a solenoid or linear actuator kit. look to www.suicidedoors.com in the door popper section. I used the autoloc kit on my S-10 and is still works good 7 years later. You will have to have a body shop make some fillers and weld them in unless you can do it yourself. Once the body work is done, it is about a 4 hour install for the poppers. PM me if you want more info.

 

Well thats a pic of my car..

You need to either get a spare door off of anything or a 1/8 peice of steel and cut out plates thats fit in there perfectly and weld them in..Or you can bondo it, but the paint will crack when you close the door if you bondo it..Im running the Autoloc door poppers..It was $450 for the kit

 

Hmm, alright. But a spare door from another cobalt or another specific car?


Just so you know I do wanna to make my car a show car so any other info you may have to help me along the way, please pm me so I can take the "good" path. lolz

 

wow that car is so hott rep to you man "never satisfied"

 

Lol anything..I used a door from a dodge durango that we had at the shop..
AND dont warp the door when you weld the pieces in..The metal is very thin!
Once you get everything shaved rip the door locks off the inside(You dont need them) so that you dont lock the door and the poppers are useless


I still lock my keys in my car, but I got an extra set

 

AutoLoc has great Systems for this, $250 to $550 setups! I recomend you relocate the seloniods under the seats, I did this & it makes it real easy to adjust which you will have to do!
The cable loosen's a little with use & Needs adjustments! The door handle removal you can do, But the actual welding & Body work down here was $400.00 per side!
Here are a couple of the install pics of Mine





Where the cable comes out under the carpet I Made Holder from Bike Brake cable adjustments & Then mounted it with a L Bracket to the Body to stop the cable sleeve from sliding & Leaving slack<<< Works Awesome
In this Pic you can see the Lock nut on the cable for adjustments


This 1 you see the cable attached to the latch!


Here it is with the seat back in!



Here is the welding being Done!

 

hmmmm cause I could weld it in and then repaint the car like I want. I was thinking of putting a Dragonball Z design look on the car or probably something else. but the paint job MUST be as soon as i do the changes.


But over all I want to shave the handles but I also want to put lambo doors. I'm not to sure with it tho.

Do you think shaving it off and putting the lambo doors in with the poplock would look "show" like. Would it be an easy task.

I'll be honest with you all, I'm not one to weld (never did it before) but I have put lambo doors on a jaguar Xj6 once before with a friend. took forever.

so any suggestions?


and thanks everyone for what you said already =)

 

That would be sweet

 

I am Not sure, But I dont think it wouldn't be any Different because the cable has as much room (ie: Play as you give it) But I would think the cable at the body would need a Bracket made so it wouldn't rub & 1 On the door!
Last is with Lambo's I think you would want to Locate the Selnoids under the seat's, So it wouldn't make the doors weigh more! <<<But I have not done this so it is only my Theory.

 

i wanna shave my door handles and just wondering if i could do shaved door handles with suicide doors
